CEX, wallets, and on-chain Perp launch gold and US stock trading. This isn't a regression for the industry, but a **huge leap forward**! Yesterday, my mom asked me: Is it still okay to buy gold? I suddenly realized that if she's determined to buy, what options do she have: 1/ OTC ETFs (like Alipay): Management fees, at least a one-day confirmation and redemption period, and not available for immediate trading. 2/ Exchange-traded ETFs: Good everywhere, but a bit complicated for complete financial novices. 3/ Physical gold from offline gold shops and banks: Price differences, large slippage, Shuibei is slightly better. 4/ Online shady platforms, like JWRui, which could disappear at any time. But if she goes through Crypto, she only needs to: 1) Open an account 2) Deposit funds 3) Buy. The operational difficulty is **no different** from shady platforms like JWRui, but it offers better security, more convenient trading, 24/7 trading, and global circulation. If this is the case for an asset with a well-developed market and relatively convenient trading, then what about silver, US stocks, or even Japanese and emerging market stocks? The potential is even greater. For CEXs and similar projects, enabling a novice user (especially in financially regulated regions) to buy gold and other global assets within 5 minutes is **the only product logic**.

For example, why can Guotou Silver maintain a 50% premium for many years and still have buyers? Because there is no other choice 😅 Offline physical silver processing fees are also 10%+, and ordinary people simply do not have a low-cost channel to acquire silver.

Now you can: download Battle.net or Bitget, and buy silver without any premium in five minutes.
